Operation Galapagos : Day 2 In Quito

Published by Ron at 3:47 pm under Evelyn's Adventures

A note from Evelyn:

We joined the Celebrity group and toured pretty much the same places we did yesterday (drive by).
 
We toured the Old town where we walked and took lots of photos.  We went to the only church in Quito that was built with gold trimmings everywhere.  They didn’t allow photos inside but the was a little store inside where I bought a book on this church ” The Church of the Soiety of Jesus in Quito”.
 
On our way to the church, both Debbie and I were approached by the natives and boy did they sell… Mother with children, children, the whole family selling. It was funny.  
 
People everywhere, the history in Quito is very rich and the people are very friendly but also in dire need of money to support their family.  This seems to be the theme here.
 
Afterward we went to the middle of the world the Ecuador, except this is the tourist version not the one we really went to…. so funny.
 
Well, time to get dressed and ready for the evening adventure. Later tonight, pack things up and get ready for the Galapalos.
